Autologon after standby

Guest

Hi I was wondering how to bypass the logon screen and go directly to my
desktop when i resume my computer out of standby mode? I tried adding the
necessary registers (autoadminlogon/forcelogon/autologon etc.) and TweakUI,
but both of those methods only bypass the logon screen after a restart, not
coming out of standby. Thanks~

Hello.
IIRC, that option is shown in the Power options control panel (powercfg.cpl).
On the Advanced tab, Uncheck "Prompt for password when computer resumes from
standby".

Don't thank me until you've checked this works (For all you know, it might
not work).

Add also in display properties/screensaver tab, uncheck "on resume display
welcome screen".
